7.30pm – Pay What You Can £30.00 / £27.00 / £25.00 A hauntingly beautiful tribute to a palm tree facing its chainsaw demise, Windblown is a spellbinding blend of folk music, conjured sound, intimate storytelling and stunning, immersive visuals. Step into a world of song, story and stillness with this exquisite, theatrical ‘parting glass’ to a 200-year-old Sabal palm brought from Bermuda to Scotland in the early 1800s, and to the gardeners who loved it. Beneath a mesmerising canopy of sculpted fronds, accompanied live by pianist Dave Milligan, Karine Polwart gives voice to the palm itself, tracing its extraordinary life and final days; exploring themes of colonial legacy, ecological care, grief and resilience. Windblown is a deeply moving, luminous production that provoked a powerful emotional response in audiences at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2025, receiving five-star reviews across the board. Join us for this unforgettable meditation on our connection to the natural world and the quiet, enduring acts of love that sustain it. ★★★★★ “Sublime … blends songs, poetry and spoken word, all delivered in soothing, honeyed tones, to celebrate the wondrous natural beauty of the tree.”—The Guardian ★★★★★ “A work of monumental beauty.”—The Herald ★★★★★ “Pure magic”—The Scotsman ★★★★★ “This is a truly wonderful show”—The Stage ★★★★★ “Extraordinary … A remarkable piece of storytelling”—FT ★★★★★ Sublime, a tender, glowing paean to nature, humanity and life itself”—The Skinny Running time 1 hour | Suitable for All Ages Watch the trailer here
